Flatlife Friday: Coco Berkman

Each week, CPC's very own Flat Phil will take you snooping through the drawers  and other hidden places to discover gorgeous work by gallery artists that you can buy. Flat Phil (with his trusty sidekick, Art Purchase) has an uncanny ability to slip inside narrow spaces unnoticed, so he was pretty pleased this week to be self-sheltering in a drawer full of east coast artist Coco Berkmam's whimsical and hilarious linoleum prints of our furry friends being adorable. Since our pets seem to be the happiest creatures on earth at the moment, what could be more fitting? 

You just may need a signature "DOG ON A SOFA" linocut to remind you of this special time you're having cuddling your canines and kitties.

Enjoy....

"Dogs on Sofas" series:

I was a seamstress for 25 years 

and made slipcovers for sofas in many different spaces. Six years 

ago I adopted a dog for the first 

time in my life. I decided to create 

a theme for myself in order to 

have an excuse to draw, carve, 

and then print some images that brought me great joy. The melding 

of dogs and sofas and linoleum printmaking resulted in this series 

of prints. - Coco Berkman

Making art is so closely tied to my psyche, my physicality, the way I move through the world. As an artist I am a loner, preferring conversations with my work to going out to a social gathering. - Coco Berkman
